eh

the price of the car was fair. the car is difficult to shift at time. the cost to repair the car is costly. on the good side of purchasing the car, its economical is a good starter car and the insurance is reasonable.

5 star

Very good-- for a Chrysler especially.

Love the retro styling (Ford should have produced this car), but . . . that would have made it perfect. With a little V8 and "three on the floor" plus "hollywood" mufflers and white mudflaps in the rear. (I covered the dash with zebra-skin colored fabric, in the old Ford, but didn't in my Cruiser.)

5 star

I love the flexible interior uses. Love that it has so much passenger and storage room
